Disneyland Hotel

The Luxury class Disneyland Hotel is an imposing five storey building located directly in front of one of the main entrances to the theme park, and similarly to the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World is themed to resemble a the turn of the century Victorian palace found in the costal towns of Florida and California.

The hotel has 479 rooms, and 21 suites, making it one of the lowest capacity of any of Disney's resort hotels.

Externally the Disneyland Hotel is one of the most recognisable landmarks at the resort, decorated in a distinctive pink colour, with an almost burgandy coloured roof, and a distinctive design of a central building flanked on either side by wings bristling with pinnacles, gables and cupolas. It is very much a family hotel, and the classic Disney animated characters abound in the hotel's theming. Immediately in front of the hotel's main building is the Fantasia Gardens - a smallish area of flowers and nicely landscaped gardens.

As with the Grand Floridian, the entrance lobby is on a huge scale, and is very impressive, decorated in pastel colours, and with a deep red carpet and wicker, leather and fabric covered furniture strategically placed, and again an enormous glass chandalier, adorned with cascading ivy leaves graces the centre of the room, and like the Grand Floridian, the hotel also features a promenade with an elegant lounge featuring a piano, frequently used to provide a little live background music.

All guests of the Disneyland Hotel have access to the hotel's health club, indoor swimming pool, sauna, jacuzzi and the Mad Hatter's video games arcade.

The Disneyland Hotel has 479 rooms and 21 suites, many of which have excellent views of the theme park as a result of the hotel's location at the park gates. Rooms are large enough to comfortably house a family of four, most with two double beds, and en-suite bathroom, and air conditioning.

All rooms feature a large television with English speaking channels, housed in a cabinet with clothes storage below, a table and chairs, a hair dryer, telephone and a lockable mini bar (keys available from reception when checking in).
